The Decemberists' Jenny Conlee's Cancer in Remission

"Our girl's officially in remission!" writes Colin Meloy

In early May, we reported the sad news that the Decemberists' keyboardist Jenny Conlee had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Five months later, we're happy to come back with news that her cancer is in remission, according to Decemberists leader Colin Meloy's Twitter: "For those of you wondering, saw Jenny this week; our girl's officially in remission! #teamjenny #beyondchemodrome"

The Decemberists have a new EP, Long Live the King, scheduled for release on November 1 through Capitol Records. Below, watch the David Foster Wallace-inspired video for "Calamity Song", which features Conlee.
